Host heterogeneity can be modeled by using multi-group structures in the population. In this paper we investigate the existence and nonexistence of traveling waves of a two-group SIR epidemic model with time delay and constant recruitment and show that the existence of traveling waves is determined by the basic reproduction numberMore specifically, we prove that (i) when the basic reproduction numberthere exists a minimal wave speedsuch that for eachthe system admits a nontrivial traveling wave solution with wave speedcand forthere exists no nontrivial traveling wave satisfying the system; (ii) whenthe system admits no nontrivial traveling waves. Finally, we present some numerical simulations to show the existence of traveling waves of the system.
